Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in red-hot form as they will be looking to build on their current six-game win streak after sneaking past the Celtics in a 106-103 home win on Wednesday. Joel Embiid led the team with 27 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks, Tyrese Maxey added 25 points with nine rebounds and five assists while Tobias Harris chipped in with 17 points, nine rebounds and three assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and nine of 34 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 39 points in the second quarter to lead by double-digits for most of the contest, until the final 1:58 where the Celtics cut their 14-point lead to just three points to put a real scare in the team.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in terrible form as they will be hoping to put a halt to their six-game slide after falling just short to the Bucks in a 120-118 road loss on Wednesday. Cade Cunningham led the team with 33 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Marcus Sasser added 26 points on 11 of 17 shooting off the bench while Killian Hayes chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Pistons shot 49 percent from the field and seven of 29 from the 3-point line as they poured in 43 points in the third quarter to turn a 15-point deficit into a 10-point lead, only to go ice-cold and allow the Bucks to run them down in a close finish.

Peter's Pick

The Pistons are still missing a bunch of players including Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks and Joe Harris, while the 76ers are coming into this one with a full roster. The Pistons were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the Bucks on Wednesday, but they've been one of the coldest teams in the league and should struggle against this red-hot 76ers team who just beat the Celtics. The line is a little hefty, but I like the 76ers to win this one comfortably on the road.
